[edit] High school
Tapp attended Deep Creek High School in Chesapeake, Virginia where he lettered in football, basketball and track and field. His senior year, Tapp set a school record with 15 sacks.
[edit] College
Tapp played as a true freshman in 2002 at Virginia Tech, mostly on special teams. Against Virginia, he returned a punt blocked by Justin Hamilton for a touchdown and for Tapp's first collegiate score.
In 2004, Tapp won the starting job, taking over for Nathaniel Adibi as the boundary defensive end.
[edit] NFL career
As a rookie, Tapp was a special teamer and part of the Seahawk's DE rotation. He recorded 33 tackles, 3 sacks, 1 forced fumble, 1 interception, and 1 defensive touchdown. In 2007, Tapp saw a lot more playing time, as the Seahawk's former starting left end Grant Wistrom was cut from the team, and the right end Bryce Fisher traded to the Titans. As a result he started all 16 games for the hawks with new arrival Patrick Kerney as the other DE. In 2007, Tapp made 49 tackles, 7 sacks and 1 interception.
On October 21, 2007 and Week 7 of the 2007 regular season, Tapp had 4 sacks and forced a fumble against the St. Louis Rams, a personal best. Two weeks after, Tapp had an interception against Cleveland Browns' QB Derek Anderson
